I am very familiar with that CFIT. He and his sons owned an FBO in the area and he had "get-home-itis by attempting a VFR flight through a very unforgiving area (not that far from where I live). He was a retired AAL 777 captain. So what, was my observation at the time of his CFIT. He was a light-twin GA pilot who made a very stupid decision that day. I don't see how his foolish decision is in any way related to instrument approach procedures and SOP at a Part 121 air carrier (or Canada's equivalent regulation).
